One of San Antonio's grandest, free holiday displays will be switched on Saturday, when the University of the Incarnate Word celebrates Light the Way.

The annual event will start at 3 p.m., earlier than ever before. The switch to illuminate the thousands of twinkling lights that make the corner of Broadway and Hildebrand a popular spot throughout the season will be turned on at 6:30 p.m.

Saturday's schedule includes more than a dozen food trucks and an area where little ones can snap selfies with Santa, decorate a Bird Bakery cookie, ride a kiddie train and enjoy activities organized by the The DoSeum and Fun4Alamo Kids.
